I am actually IN there somewhere…
Donc, yet again the internet was WEIRD, so we had to splice yesterday and today but what the heck.

Mama is going to put in some photos of things she loves in Roma and this is a big one–the ‘fountains’ of Rome wher you put your finger over a little hole and the water, clean and clear from the mountains, becomes a little drinking water-arch fountain.
Papa says it looks like, well, we won’t say what he joked about and how it looked to him…
The water is ice cold and delicious.

Papa’s second cataract is going to be fixed this afternoon.
We don’t like the word “fixed”, mama!
Okay, okay, repaired….and tomorrow is papa’s birthday so it’s a nice present!
And this sweet man(in front of the Pantheon) is one of many eccentric and interesting bicyclers in Rome. We even saw Cosimo, the cat, from Instagram, one day in front of our apartment building, on the shoulder of his papa on a bicycle!

Hoping all went well with your papa’s surgery. Happy birthday to him!
ALL GOOD, merci Ms Island mama. Papa is so happy! Mama was a bit nervous but she survived….
Beautiful Rome, what a wondrous place, Loulou. Good luck to your dad for his disposing of the cantankerous cataract.
IT IS GONE AND HE IS AMAZED!
Italy is always an adventure. I am praying the surgery goes well.
Merci, Ms Messymimi and it did, thanks to you!
We thought we saw you in that first picture LouLou but we aren’t sure about the rest of it. The Roma pics are great.
More to come…merci.
Very cool art and excellent spark. XO
Wish I could remember for mama what Loonypic it was! Merci, Ms E. Thinking about you daily and your sweet kitty….
Best wishes for a full healing of the Dad’s eye, and may the surgeon’s hands be guided from above. Here us two have the beginnings of those cataracts, too, but we are told ‘they are not ready yet’…
Looks like you are enjoying all that Rome has to offewr!
Well, when they are ready, do it THEN. We waited too long for mama’s and papa’s and it was more difficult for him at this age. But when they are reday, GO!!! So easy. So magical.
Cool art! Hey, there is a WalMart shopper at the Pantheon!

Great photos. Our Mom loved Rome. Good luck to Papa!
Merci, Furkids, and they ARE over and he is on the moon. Well, here of course with mama and me, but so happy.
